Legends of Runeterra

The next morning.

After a night, more and more red lightning appeared on Akali's body. If it weren't for the barrier set up by Li En, the violent lightning could easily destroy the house and the surrounding area.

Now, Akali sat quietly on the cushion with her eyes closed, her breath steady and peaceful.

Li En saw that she was still in a state of enlightenment, and the time was about the same, so Shen and Jie would most likely come to visit her soon. So he gently stood up and left the room quietly.

Just after pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Li En sensed the presence of several people outside the yard.

With a gentle wave of the hand, the yard door opened automatically.

Seeing this, Shen and the other two stepped in.

"Lord Li En."

"Well, good morning everyone, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Jie thanked him and sat upright on the chair.

As a disciple, Kayn looked honest and low-key after paying his respects, and took the initiative to pour tea for Li En, without any trace of arrogance.

Shen, who had been looking around since he entered the room, finally couldn't help but speak when he saw the living room where only Li En was.

"Leen... um... where's Akali?"

Although Shen has watched Akali grow up since childhood, he is quite familiar with Akali's living habits.

This stubborn little girl, who longed for her mother's approval, would start training before dawn every day, no matter how cold or hot, windy or rainy it was, ever since she was confirmed to have no talent for magic.

Now at this time, Akali is nowhere to be seen...

Reminiscent of Li En's charm.

"It's bad. I was careless!"

Although he felt something was wrong inside, Shen still looked at Li En with a glimmer of hope.

"Oh Akali, she might not wake up until later."

"What!?"

"Ahem~! Shen!"

Jie, who was sitting next to him, coughed lightly, causing Shen Na to stop halfway through standing up.

He turned around to look at his junior fellow apprentice, and seeing the expression of 'see, just as expected' on his face, he sat back dejectedly.

"It's so fast..."

"what!?"

Looking at the dejected Shen, it was Li En's turn to be confused.

But in less than a second, Li En reacted and was about to explain.

"Ahem! Master Li En, Senior Brother Shen and I still have to go check on Jhin in the dungeon, so we won't bother you for now."

Jie finished speaking, and before Li En could answer, he dragged Shen and walked quickly towards the door.

Kayn on the side bowed respectfully and quickly followed the two of them away.

'Damn it, I just came here to ask about building relationships, but how come I heard news that I shouldn't have heard!

Wait for me, Master!

Kayn shouted silently in his heart, and his feet were already using ninja steps.

"Shua~!"

The living room, which was originally quite lively, was suddenly filled with only Li En.

He glanced at the slowly closing yard door and the other two cups of steaming tea on the table.

"Oh~!"

With a light sigh, Li En picked up the teacup and took a sip.

'Forget it. Anyway, as long as Akali wakes up, all misunderstandings will be resolved.

Forget about Shen, but this guy Jie, doesn’t he understand that I am a righteous and honest person?

The world has misled me a lot, it's really frustrating...'

...

After getting to a certain distance, Shen gently exerted force with his arm and easily broke free from Jie's palm.

Sensing that the opponent's disciple Kayn had not caught up, Shen immediately dropped his disguise and looked at Jie with some depression.

"Jie, why did you pull me away just now?"

"I told you not to call me...

"Forget it, whatever you want!"

Facing Shen's stubborn gaze, Jie rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Otherwise, if I hadn't pulled you away just now, what did you want to say by staying?

You are barely Akali's elder, but her parents don't even know about this, so why are you so anxious?"

"This...I..."

"Papa~!"

Jie reached out and patted the other person's arm, which was as strong as a combination of granite and rubber after being tempered through thousands of trials.

“Since Lord Li En and Akali have come this far, what you need to do now is to pass this news to Meimu and Tano.

The rest will be left to their parents to discuss with Akali."

"Yeah, that makes sense, I get it!"

Shen nodded, but his face still showed some hesitation and worry.

After all, it was he who brought Akali up, but now...

Thinking of how much Meimu, Tano, and especially Master Kennen the 'Violent Heart' cherished Akali, Shen felt that even if he had now inherited the title of 'Eye of Twilight'.

Even if Meimu and the other two did not take action, Master Kenan would definitely not show mercy if he knew about it.

As a good brother who grew up together, Jie could see the other's distress at a glance.

“Also, Shen, don’t worry too much.

Although Lord Li En is a little... too "loving", but look at the women who get along with him, all of them are carefully cared for by him.

In the whole of Ionia, who dares to challenge the majesty of the special 'Dragon Lord' who only appears once in a thousand years?

Akali and Lord Lien are together. To be honest, is there any better choice in the whole of Ionia?"

"This... is indeed..."

Listening to Jie's words which were supported by facts, Shen couldn't help but nod his head slightly.

Matters like feelings are difficult to be interfered and controlled by outsiders. What else can Shen do? He can't just stay by her side all the time.

But that would be very inappropriate for either Li En or Akali to follow closely.

"When I face the three uncles, I just need to polish up what Jie said. Even Master Kenan probably won't find a reason to beat me up!"

Thinking of this, Shen suddenly felt that the world was wider and he no longer had any doubts.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go and tell Uncle Meimu about this!"

Shen just took a step, but turned back to look at Jie.

"Thank you, Jie, but you still have a solution!"

"Haha~! We are brothers, aren't we?"

"Well, see you later, Junior Brother!"

"Shua~!"

Shen's figure flashed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Sensing that Shen's breath was rapidly fading away, the corners of Jie's mouth suddenly rose.

What he said to Shen might be able to persuade Meimu and Tano.

But if you face Master Kennen, do you really think that the title of "Heart of Rage" was chosen randomly?

"It's such a pity that I can't see you being beaten up~!"

With a low sigh, Jie glanced casually at the corner, then his figure turned into a shadow and sank into the ground and disappeared.

In the shadows, a drop of cold sweat slid down Kayn's head.

Kayn knew that the look in his master's eyes when he left must have meant that he had discovered him.

"It's over, it's over now. Why can't I control my curiosity?"

Regret, very regretful, Kayn looked at the direction where Zed left, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not follow.

Thinking of how easily Zed discovered him, Kayn turned around and left, heading towards the forest for training before sunrise.

"I have almost learned the secrets of shadow magic. Now I just need time to hone my skills.

But even if I have extraordinary talent and my master is not an ordinary person, if this goes on, when will it be my turn to become the 'Lord of Shadows'?

Maybe... I should find some other way to improve my strength?'
